Creepy (Yet Cute) Author Portraits

Nick Velardi is a freelance illustrator and author from Philadelphia with the shoe-size of a grown man and the imagination of a kindergartener. He's proud to be a kid at heart and loves telling stories through a signature cartoonish style. He recently graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design with a BFA in Illustration and published his first children's book,THERE IS NO MONSTER IN YOUR ROOM! Nowadays, he spends his time living by the beach in New Jersey, doodling and painting the world inside of his head.

I happen to have purchased the very first Print of the Poe Illustration. Mr.Velardi is making me quite proud of him. You hit the nail on the head with the statement, "He has the shoe size of a man and the imagination of a kindergardener". Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we all used our brains, beginning with the thoughts of five year olds? Much simpler time. Much siimpler thinking. Much, very much in the moment and without understanding the FREEDOM of thinking as a five year old. Mr.Velardi, that is the Litter box, NOT a child's Sand box. Get and stay where your are, where ever that is and where it takes you.
